In former years the matter had never been discussed in private, and as any mensure taken by the Roard for the prevention of plague was of great interest to the public he submitted that an opportunity should he afforded those outside of the Board to criticise their actions or make any suggestions, some of which might prove verv nasfal to the Board. Two hands were always better than one, and he moved that the principle be adhered to......
Mr. Lau Chu Pak' seconded, observing that any matter which affected the welfare of the public should be thrashed out in public.
The President said he had no objection to the item being considered in open meeting. The reason why it was marked confidential was that it involved a considerable expendi- ture, and where an estimate of a large amount was concerned it was generally considered in private.
The acting MO.H. drew attention 10 a mistake in Mr. Lau Chy Pak's minute where it was stated that he (Dr. Pearse) had expressed. the opinion that there was less plaque last year on account of fumigation and disinfection, whereas he had pointed out that in 1902 there were fewer cares of plague and in the winter of 1901-02 the Board did the cleansing. He was absolutely certain that if the work was under taken by the Board's officers it would be done more satisfactorily than if left, to the people themselves. They had not got water and it could not he expected the people were going to cart it about; they had their business to attend to.
The President said he thought they were all agreed that some cleansing measurce - must be taken in the winter to combat this disease. The question was whether the Board should recommend the Government that its own offi-

ater dearth of water was a greater than one generally met with. That might account for the cleansing not having been so effectual as in the previous winter. Personally, he thought they did not know sufficient about the disease to be dogmatic. In neither 1895 por 1897 which were mild years was there any general cleansing in the preceding winters. He thought overcrowding was a very important factor.
On the arst ult, Dr. Pearse wrote:-The Secretary. I think that the Board should very soon decide the question of what preventive measures on a large scale, if any, are to be undertaken during the coming winter as regards a probable recurrence of plague next year. In the winter 1901-1902 the cleansing was thoroughly done by the Board's staff In 1902 1903 the people were allowed to cleanse their own houses. This they did in many cases as well as the scarcity of water would allow; but still the result was not nearly so satisfactory as when the work was done by the Board's own' staff.
The President minuted on the 25th ult, as follows: Although the comparatively mild outbreak of 1902 was preceded by a systematic cleansing of the city the winter of 1901-1902, it dres not follow that this can be looked upon
in the light of cause and effect as no such general cleansing occurred in the winter pre ceding the very smail outbreaks of plaxue in

The Hon. Pollock thought that cleansing should be carried out by the people themselves under the supervision of the officers of the Board. They should educate the Chinese to do some thing for themselves, Hitherto they had divested themselves of all personal responsibility in the matter, and Chinese should be taught to bestir
themselves instead of waiting for the Govern- ment to undertake the work of cleansing. He
moved that the people carry eat the work under the supervision of the officeis of the
Board.
Mr. Lau Chu Pak agreed will Mr. Follock, and thought if proper supervision was exercised the pe ple could be made to do a great dea more than the Board's officers could accomplish.
Mr. Heweit agreed with all that had been said, and expressed the hope that the expari ment carried out by His Excellency in Second and Third Streets would be extended to the whole of the city. It was the most satisfactory experiment that had been made up to the present.
Mr. Fung Wa Chun thought the Chinese would respond to the call of the Board if they were called upon to cleanse their houses. They did so last year without a murmur, and the President commended them on their behaviour. The best step to take was to enlist their CO-
operation,
Capt. Lyons asked whether any instructions would be given to the Chinese in the intier

Mr. Fung Wa Chun minuted—I'am of the Board during the winter 1901-1901 was a opinion that fumigation such an wis done by farce. I do not mean to say that fumigation is of no use; but I certainly do think the way in which it was carried out was such that it could not have had any effect, and consequently mo e than half of the sum of eighty odd thousand dollars spent was simply thrown away without any beneficial result. But I would certainly recommend general cleansing by the people themselves not as a preventive measure against plague but as a measure, to- promote good health. The people, I believe can cleanse their premises just as well as the Bord's staff, and their cleansing can be supervised by a European member of the Board's staff. This
think, will give the same result without the proved of Mr. Follock's motion he thought a waste of a large sum of public, monie, which can be employed for some useful purposes, and the dislike and annoyance of the people will be removed. I agree with the President that plague is not so much due to dirt as to over crowding. In Canton, Amoy and Swatow, where no fumigation or cleansing, was ever carried out, yet plague disappears from those ports almost simultaneously as it does here I am afraid we are all working in the dark...... Mr. Lau Chu Pak minuted Year after year, recourse has been had to the same unsuccessful and expensive measures, varied during the lasi two years with general cleansing, and fumiga lion, for fighting plague, and with what result? The disease still returns every year at a certain season and times its departure according to its pleasure. Theoretically--we are all speak Ing theoretically-1 cannot agree with the Acting Medical Officer of Health that because the general cleansing of the city was done by the Board's own staff, during the winter of 1901 to 192, there were fewer cases of plague in 1902, I am inclined to think that atmospheric conditions are responsible for its virulence. ety measure bitherto adopted In my opinio", every
